Madden NFL 25 Ultimate Team explained

Ultimate Team refers to a Madden NFL 25 game mode. To get started, you can open up some packs to get some players. Next, build your team manually or select the option to generate the best lineup. Then, you can get in some normal, offense only, or kickoff practice before duking it out against friends or other players.

However, note that two losses means you're out. To enter the Weekend Gauntlet, you must win 16 Ultimate Team Champs games from the past week. You can also qualify by using coins.

Finally, you can also get some practice in by playing alone as opposed to going up against others. The game's solo experience uses bots in Solo Seasons. However, you can gauge your skills by moving up and down divisions in this offline mode just like the online seasons.
